Answer: a. hands crossed over the belly

Explanation:

The Elamite statue of Queen Napir-Asu is a life-size bronze-and-copper representation of Queen Napir-Asu. The sculpture does have a patterned gown, an upright posture, and an inscription on the queen's skirt, but neither of these elements is allusions to fertility. It´s the hands crossed over the belly that allude to fertility and the queen’s responsibility to guarantee a peaceful succession.
